One-time fee. Still worth it.

Pays for itself the first month.

Is anyone having issues online loading NWBUXX? I get a System Error when clicking "Fund Teen Card"

Dear XXXX,

Give your teen or that young adult in your life a gift that will make you both smile with an extra $5. Just add $50 to your Buxx Card by December 31 and we'll give you $5

To receive the $5 bonus, add $50 to the Buxx card account before December 31, 2013. The bonus will be credited to the account within 2 weeks following January 15, 2014.

I wonder if its $5 per card. If so, it would be essentially free to load $1000 per card.

Me too. I had to load over the phone since I keep getting an error online.

Is the $5 promo good for both NW and US buzz?

FWIW,
I use my PayPal debit card (not prepaid one) to load my NW Buxx today. For some reasons, I typed my 3 digits CVV wrong so I got an error from NW. However, the load amount was deducted from my PayPal account and none showed up in my NW account. Hopefully I will get a refund in a few days.

It's probably in a pending transaction and then will release in a few days

I think so and hope so.

I don't want any surprises from PayPal since it is very hard to deal with ;)

I tried to load Serve using a NW Buxx card and got an error message to call AMEX. They told me that I can't use a prepaid card and de-linked it from my account:(:td:

Actually it is a common knowledge that is discussed in Serve/BB topic for a while. You can use PayPal Debit Mastercard (not prepaid one) though.

BB also seems to have a limit on the debit card load of 3 loads before they block you - requiring proof that the DC account is yours. Had this happen on both mine and my wife's BB after 3 loads. They will set up a 3 way call with your bank to confirm the DC is yours.

Just completed a $200 transfer a few minutes ago using NW Visabuxx.

Perhaps worthwhile to try and add your card again and see what happens if you then try to transfer, say a token $10 amount.

I have a feeling if I try to use PayPAl Debit Mastercard then what happened to rdover would happen to me. I assume after 3 loads, they'll try to verify the card and then find out it's not a regular Debit Card

Many people confirm that Serve/BB accept PayPal debit card as a "real" debit card.

WM Billpay with USBank VB
 
I just enrolled as a parent for the USBank VB and entered my SO as the teen. Under "my account" on their website, I am listed as the "account holder" and my SO is listed as the "card holder". My understanding is that I will receive one card with my SO's name on it and that I can add funds to it.

My question regards liquidating funds. As the "account holder" can I do a WM Billpay even though the card is not in my name? Or, should I request a card with my name on it?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Correct. They WILL require verification after 3 loads as always, but no other issues. They accepted fax of ID and card front from me.
